After nine years, two time Grammy nominated guitarist Sin Quirin has rejoined industrial/metal band Society 1. “To say that I’m excited to be back with my brothers in Society 1 would be an understatement,” says Quirin. “I have waited for years to reconnect with the guys and I’m extremely happy to say that the time has come. I’m back and ready to pick up where we left off.” Quirin began initially as the band’s keyboardist before moving up to the position of lead guitarist and becoming one of the principal songwriters in Society 1, recording two albums and touring with the band, performing a now legendary show at the Download Festival in 2005. In 2006, he accepted an invitation to join Revolting Cocks and eventually MINISTRY, becoming a primary musical force in both bands, having written and co-written much of the material on the latter releases and earning himself two Grammy nominations in 2008 and 2009. The announcement of Quirin’s return to Society 1 follows a series of performances earlier in 2014.
In additional news, Society 1 has signed with London and Las Vegas based company Black Radar Management. The company has stated, “We are proud that Society 1 has joined our roster,” which also includes American Head Charge, of which Quirin was a member in 2011.
Of the band’s recent developments, Society 1 vocalist and founder Matt “Lord” Zane stated, “All of it is kind of surreal. Playing with Sin on stage is going to take some getting used to. On one hand he is my friend and band mate who helped build Society 1 every step of the way all those years ago. But on the other hand he is the guitar player and writer for Ministry so that makes me a fan. An interesting scenario but I’m loving it.” He also went on to include, “The 10 year anniversary of our Download Festival suspension show is coming up in 2015. We definitely want to to perform there with the full suspension during the entire set just like we did in 2005.”
Society 1 is currently working on a new album, for which the “It’s Yours Now” music video has been released as the first single.
